Basilica of Santo Stefano Maggiore

Basilica di Santo Stefano Maggiore

Place of worshipLocals' pick

A basilica founded around 417 and rebuilt many times, where on 26 December 1476 Duke Galeazzo Maria Sforza was stabbed to death by aristocratic conspirators; a plaque set into the floor marks the spot. Caravaggio was baptised here; inside, look for Fede Galizia's early 17th-century Noli me tangere and Procaccini's Transfiguration.

Good to know

  • Since 2015 it is the parish for Milan's migrants, with Masses in Filipino and Spanish.
  • It shares the square with San Bernardino alle Ossa and its bone chapel, so see both together.
  • The lone column in front of the bell tower is the last piece of the old narthex.
